State House over the weekend    (July 23, 2022) handed over a brand new Toyota Landcruiser G-R Sport to the Bishop of the Diocese of Kigezi, Rt Rev. Gaddie Akanjuna, to facilitate him in his pastoral and evangelism work.

“His Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on May 29 gave a gift of a vehicle to the Bishop of Kigezi Diocese, Rt. Rev. Gaddie Akanjuna, but we later established that it could not manage climbing the hills of Kigezi.

“As the Diocese of Kigezi, we are very grateful to President Museveni for fulfilling his pledge. We shall use the donated vehicle not only for evangelism and pastoral work but to mobilise the community to engage in the different Government programs aimed at poverty eradication such as the Parish Development Model,” Bishop Akanjuna said.
